Prey makes good use of all its great ideas, but doesn't cash in on all of its potential.

Gameplay: 3D Realms did an amazing job of introducing new ideas into Prey such as portals and gravity walkways and ways to change the orientation of gravity. Along with things such as spirit walk and death walk. After playing the game for a while though, the portals act more as doors, making the game a bit more linear, and the spirit walk is only really used at certain moments in the game to solve really easy puzzles. The vehicle parts though can become annoying at some points.

Graphics: This game is very, very sharp and the graphics are quite good. But I think this could have had much better graphicson the XBOX 360 instead of just being the same as the PC version.

Sound: The soundtrack to the game is quite good, along with the gun sound effects. The voice acting is better than it is in most games.

Value: The game isn't extremely long, I would say it took me maybe between 7 and 9 hours to complete. I haven't been able to get a match in online, but I've heard taht the online play does lag at points. Although the achievements are quite easy to get (Complete a level are the easier ones) You may not be able to get all of the achievments from the campaign mode on your first run through the game.

    Well I have to say I wasn't dissapointed in this release one bit. So far every game that has looked to be promising has let me down. (Cromehounds, Over G Fighters, X-Men) Well I guess I just have high hopes for all games... Read Full Review
